Product Description
This radiator is a drop in replacement for AA-8005-B for production from June 1930 until the end. It has a deeper shell and set-up for the OE engine in its production year. It has been called the "high efficiency" radiator or "modern" core principally because it has 10 fins per vertical inch; a gain of 40% surface area and a highly elliptical tube shape. This tube design provides equal volumetric throughput but increases tube surface area by 293% thus requiring fewer tubes and still achieving better heat exchange. Other features include a deep drawn tank with an OE stamp pattern, a deeper stay-rod bracket, electric wire tabs, galvanized steel sidewalls, and riveted brackets for a longer life.
If you have modified or altered your vehicle in anyway, please order from the bespoke radiator section. If you wish to restore your OE radiator using your OE tanks, brackets and/or castings please visit the restoration section of our website to begin the process.

3/4" seamless weld tubes in a staggered array to disrupt airflow laterally
Brass top tanks with correct production year die stampings
Galvanized steel sidewalls to resist rust
Brackets riveted to the sidewall
Sidewalls available with relief like OE (upon request)
Cast stay-rod bracket with deeper AA length
